Honestly, I think we started badly because we were disorganised, Sherwood had no idea how to prepare a team for the season. We got rid and replaced with Garde who wanted the team to be much fitter and was trying to focus on that but was struggling with the lack of professionalism of some of our players. In January he seemed to get something out of them but when he didn't get players in the window he seemed to lose a bit of focus and that translated to the players who, for me, saw him as a deadman walking and eased back on training, etc. That led to us taking a couple of beatings and him getting sacked. Finally Black acted up as caretaker and decided to try to defend his way to some points but with our ropey defence that was just a terrible decision.
You think we would be treated with any respect on a nose forum. I would say that is mild to what would be said to us. This is a Villa website for Villa fans if I'm not mistaken.
